    Regenerative braking takes a bit of getting used to.  If you have it on full and use the brakes it’ll be really harsh, the emergency stop in our I5 is pretty instant with iPedal activated and as expected in the others.  I have been used to driving with it for a good few years and leaving a little bit bigger gap to slow a little less quickly can really make a difference to both how I drive and the efficiency.  That said, it’s turn downable to a point where you can either ignore it (and the efficiency gains) or can have it at a manageable level and enjoy a little bit of extra efficiency.

     

    The Tuscon has a Krell system, that’d set my expectations really high, seeing as home stereo Krell equipment is incredibly expensive.  I’d be very interested to see/hear if it is anything close to the expectations the name creates.  Hyundai’s smart boot is better than most I’ve come across, it’s not a wave your foot under a sensor type, you just stand behind the car and it’ll detect the key, give you a bit of time to prove you’re not walking past then open the boot door.  Given I’ve seen someone fall over waving their foot at their Ford (I think) with loads of bags in their hands, I much prefer the stand and wait approach Hyundai offer.

    I'll try to give my honest opinion but am always open to learning.
